Metal Gear Solid 4

I also bought a PS3 solely for MGS4.

What. A. Game.

Easily one of the best, if not THE best game I have ever played on a console.

How does everyone rate Snake Eater? I'm a massive MGS fan but this game just feels odd, definitely under par in comparison to the second. I tried playing it again yesterday, turned it off after about 10 minutes.

I loved Snake Eater, it takes a little while to get used to but it makes you feel like Rambo when you finally manage to start blending into the surroundings.

The best MGS but for me the worst story.

I loved it but I seem to rem there is a dodgy level where your in a 'city' that has about 2 streets and doesn't feel right. So long ago now I can't really rem, does anyone else remember that ?

Otherwise it is probably one of the best game of this generation

Big MGS fan, I think Twin Snakes (the remake of MGS1 on the GC) is my favourite. I just can't get over how good the initial game was.
I think MGS2 and 3 both had good and bad things going for them, and I would say MGS4 is the weakest entry in the series, although still good.

I agree

MGS1 is the best out of the lot. Nothing beats Liquid Snake as the true final boss

'Liquid. . . . '

The final battle on top of Rex was epic, the most cinematic game ever. Can't believe it's 12 years since I first played it, I feel old.

Im on Act 5 or Act 6 now
Loving the game, the cinematics are abit to long and bore me sometimes.. you know when your just in the mood to play the actual game? Rather than watching

Other than that yeah this game rocks, bought it on gameplay.co.uk preowned for £9, delivered as though it was brand new.

Yep yep yep awesome stuff.

By the way, have you seen this? Kojima and Suda 51 collaborating on a radio show based on the Snatcher series.

i love this game to, looking forward to the HD pack coming soon in november me thinks

On the subject of MGS is Rising ever coming out? Seems to me it might end up being nothing more than a tech demo given the lack of news about it now for what 18 months at least?

Sometime in 2012 I think. I heard it was going to be around March/April.

November

I love MGS4 the thing that I find is that its such hard work to unlock the stealth camo and bandana that I cant play it again for a long time.

I'd be amazed if it was released that early in 2012 tbh, that's roughly the same time as Bioshock Infinite and we're seeing a fair bit of that at moment, Rising on the other hand we've seen little to nothing.... was it even last years e3 that the demo was shown? I've got a funny feeling it was the year before that :eek:

Highly unlikely.
